Weather runs gamut for Port Huron to Mackinac sailboat race

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (AP) — The roughly 200 sailboats participating in this year’s annual Port Huron to Mackinac race experienced heavy rain and wind as well as more agreeable conditions on their lengthwise journey of Lake Huron.

The Bell’s Beer Bayview Mackinac Race started Saturday and the boats started to come in Sunday night. Sailors continued to cross the finish line throughout Monday.

Former University of Michigan Athletic Director Bill Martin’s Stripes won the Cove Island Course overall; Todd and Ryan Howe’s Earth Voyager won for multihulls; and Paul Van Tol’s Eliminator won the Shore Course.
